🌳 Brush collection is coming up next week! Place brush out to the curb before 6:30 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 12 to ensure collection.

❗ Brush consists of brush and tree trimmings (sticks, branches) and these are the ONLY things that will be collected. Do not put grass clippings, lawn rakings, and leaves in your piles.

Also, to help our crews out, please ensure piles are placed parallel to the street. Please avoid placing cut ends toward the street.

The Brown County Highway Department will soon begin work on the Grant Street railroad crossing project. While this is a County project, we wanted to make sure City of De Pere residents are aware of the upcoming work and how it may affect traffic in the area.

Brown County will be closing Grant Street between S. Sixth Street and S. Fifth Street from Oct. 12 through Nov. 6. The road is being closed so CN Railroad can fix the railroad crossing on Grant Street from Oct 12 through Oct. 16. Once the railroad work is complete, the County plans to do pavement repairs in this area as well. This work is weather dependent so the closure could be longer if the weather does not allow the street repairs to take place.

During this closure between S. Fifth Street and S. Sixth Street, vehicle access to S. Sixth Street will remain available, and drivers will still be able to make left turns onto Grant Street from S. Sixth Street.

If you’d like more information or a map of the impacted areas, we encourage you to visit Brown County’s “Road Closure” website at this link (and look for the CTH EE Railroad Tracks Upgrade project): https://loom.ly/zNnDaZc

If you didn’t catch the latest episode of our podcast, Bridging De Pere, there’s a lot to dig into. 🎧🚧

In Episode 5, Assistant City Engineer Chase Kuffel and City Engineer Eric Rakers take a look at the engineering and street construction projects completed in 2026, along with what’s ahead for De Pere in 2027 and 2028.

From Merrill Street to major upcoming projects like Main Avenue, Reid Street and the Southern Bridge, they talk about what’s being planned, why the work is happening and how it could impact residents.

They also discuss how streets are selected for reconstruction, how residents are notified about construction and even some of the challenges that come with coordinating all of this work.
